METHOD FOR PREOPERATIVE PREDICTION OF ULCEROUS COMPLICATIONS IN GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN CARDIAC SURGERY PATIENTS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine and may be used for preoperative prediction of ulcerous complications in gastrointestinal tract in cardiac surgery patients. For this purpose 2-3 days prior to operation, before and after general hypoxic test, endogastric pH is measured. General hypoxic test is carried out by inhalation of gas mixture with 10% content of oxygen for 40 minutes. If pH reduces twice and more, risk of ulcerous complications development in postoperational period is considered high.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to determine increasing acid-producing function of stomach in response to hypoxic stress and factor of risk of development of ulcerous complications in gastrointestinal tract in cardiac surgery patients of postoperational period and to build rational preventive therapy on the basis of available data.
